Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 20m

Yield 4-6

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 pound prepared pizza dough, at room temperature
All-purpose flour, for rolling
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 cups shredded mozzarella
1/4 cup grated Parmesan
2 medium plum tomatoes, sliced and patted dry
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup lightly packed fresh basil leaves, torn

Steps:

  • Stretch and roll the dough on a lightly floured surface into a thin rustic round about 1/4 inch thick and 12-inches in diameter (no need to be perfectly round). Transfer to an 18-inch-long piece of heavy-duty aluminum foil and brush the pizza with the oil. Lift the whole piece of foil and put on the grill. Grill until the dough is charred on the bottom and almost cooked through, turning the foil a quarter turn a few times to ensure even cooking, 4 to 7 minutes.
  • Using the foil, remove the crust from the grill. Scatter the mozzarella and Parmesan over top, add the sliced tomato and season lightly with salt and pepper. Using the foil, lift the pizza back onto the grill. Cover and grill until the cheese is melted, 2 to 3 minutes more. Remove the pizza from the grill and top with the basil.

PIZZA WITH TOMATO, MOZZARELLA AND BASIL



Pizza with Tomato, Mozzarella and Basil image

Provided by Food Network

Yield 2 pizzas

Number Of Ingredients 16

3 tablespoons olive oil
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
2 cups canned plum tomatoes, crushed by hand, seeds removed
1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper
1 teaspoon dry oregano
2 12-inch pizza crusts (recipe follows)
4 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 pound fresh mozzarella, thinly sliced
8 basil leaves
Ceramic pizza stone
Pizza peel
3 1/4 cups unbleached flour
2 teaspoons salt
1 cup warm water
1 envelope active dry yeast
3 tablespoons olive oil

Steps:

  • Set the pizza stone into a cold oven and preheat the oven to 450 degrees. In a small sauce pan set over a low flame, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute before adding the tomatoes. Season the tomatoes with the salt, pepper and oregano and cook over medium heat for 10 minutes. Working on a lightly floured surface, pat one of the pizza dough balls into a flat round shape, working from the center outward. While forming the shape of a pizza crust, work with the tips of the fingers and form a 1/2-inch thick edge. Continue to work outward trying to achieve as even a thickness as possible. When the pizza dough is formed into shape transfer the dough to the peel and drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the surface. Sprinkle half the Parmesan cheese evenly over the oiled pizza dough and spoon 3 tablespoons of sauce over the surface. Evenly spread half of the mozzarella over the tomato and finish building your pizza with a few basil leaves roughly torn by hand. Place the pizza onto the pizza stone in the oven by sliding the pizza off of the peel and onto the hot stone. Repeat the process for the second pizza. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until the surface is bubbling and the bottom of the crust is well browned.;
  • In a bowl, combine the flour and salt, and mix thoroughly. In a separate stainless steel bowl, combine the water and yeast, and using a whisk, add 2 tablespoons of oil. Let rest for 5 minutes. Pour the water into the center of the flour, and with a spatula, stir to combine well into a sticky mass. Pour this mass out onto a lightly floured surface and begin to knead the dough by working the dough with the heel of the palm of your hand. Push outward and pull the inside edge over the top. Repeating the process over again to create a smooth ball of dough free of stickiness. Place the ball of dough into a clean stainless steel bowl that has been brushed with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Cover with a clean cloth and let rise at room temperature for 1 1/2 hours or until it has doubled in size. When the dough has risen it can be divided in half and the two pieces formed into two balls which will later be patted into the traditional pizza shape. Yield: 2 12-inch pizza crusts;
